Lori La Bey talks with the Authors of “Fighting for my Life.” Jamie Tyrone has a 91% chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease and she’ll tell us why. Needless to say, she is an advocate to find a cure and she believes in and enrolls in clinical trials herself. Dr. Marwan Sabbagh is a leading expert in Alzheimer’s diagnosis, treatment and research and the director of Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada. We will discuss why they joined forces to write this book and what others can expect to get out of the book.

Push Research Forward – Join the A-List

We’ve all wrestled with a guilt trip – aging parents or a sick spouse who fear that we will not respect their wishes to stay at home. Statistics reaffirm that seventy-five percent of families try to do just that, despite the physical and emotional challenges of 24/7 dementia care. Often families turn to outside professional home care support.

24/7 care is often central to the Alzheimer’s experience. Every one of us facing this challenge – patients and care partners alike – strives to honor and help our loved ones live well with dementia. Home care providers and policy makers want to know what matters most to the A-LIST.

I Love This Company!

Arthur’s Residential Care has sponsored and supported the Memory Cafe Concept from the beginning I brought it to the United States. The minute I suggested they become involved in launching one they jumped with both feet in the water and have never looked back. ACR not only graciously gave us space for meetings, but provided treats and additional facilitators as our one group expanded to three. They have been so progressive in staff dementia training and creating moments of joy for both their residents and their families; which I must admit brings a smile to my face and a warmth to my heat every time. I am so blessed to witness their work. Kudos Arthur’s Residential Care!
